Paidea Paidea games are games which have no set rules to them and are played for leisure and where the player is allowed to do almost anything they like freely, for example games like Skyrim or Minecraft where the player can go off on their own into the in game world and enjoy themselves with out even following any stories or set goals.
Ludus Ludus games are the opposite, the played is limited and set to a specific goal and a specific way of going about playing it, for example most FPS's like Call of Duty, Battlefield and Medal of Honor are all set to playing a certain way and have set goals and have to progress through the game to get better weapons
Newman then splits these two category's up even more into another 4 types of game within Paidea and Ludus Agon - Competitive play Alea - Game play based on chance Ilinx - Game based on the movement within it Mimicry - meaning simulation

| Alea | Risk of Rain | Poker |
| Ilinx | Train Simulator | Sonic the Hedgehog |
| Mimicry | Minecraft | Pokémon WarThunder |
